That is beautiful. Untuck your sack, jms.

Btw, how many bones are the IndyCars?

The lotus is 6M or 10K in tokens...LOL

I think the others are 3M or 5K in tokens

Bling Bling...been rocking the Audis to start.

Yep, definitely thought this was a real car inside a real garage

So I have been racing on "Pro" level drivatar difficulty and it has been a decent challenge. I would say the first and 2nd place cars are a bit tough to catch up to but the rest of the pack was pretty easy to pass. I tried 'Unbeatable" and that felt like I was racing real people for sure. This was truly a tough level of difficulty as I came in 8th place in a 3 lap race at Road Atlanta (typically one of my faster tracks). You have to have a solid car and have it tuned to win at this difficulty.

Some cons I have found the more I play.

• The multiplayer hoppers need to be retuned. Everytime Goat and I try and race we can only find 1 or 2 other drivers it any at all. its says there are 1000s of drivers online but where are they??
• You can NOT gift anything anymore. No tunes, no cars, no liverys ect.
• You can NOT sell your cars anymore...ugh why???
• There is not a discount that I see for upgrading your cars. Last year you could basically upgrade your Audi for free if you raised your affinity level high enough. The appears to be gone. I am a level 9 on my Audi and no discounts.
• The lotus F1 car is 8M Credits or 10,000 Tokens.....WTF???
• They just really nerfed/changed the economy here. I am racing with no assists and on Pro difficulty (6/7 hardest) and I am making 12-13K per race coming in 1st. You get a boost each level up but it seems to be 31,500 credits each time. it should be increasing each level.

The racing, cars, Forza vista, drivatars and tracks are all fantastic but a lot of what is outside of that is a bit crappy.

A bit crappy? That sounds like complete bullshit. And I can answer all of your burning questions with one answer...M$. Why alloy you to gift, sell or trade your cars when theycan charge you cor them? Why not completely nerf the economy when they can hope to frustrate you to the point of spending your own money? Why allow you to earn in game discounts for your play when they can charge you?

This is a damn shame because I was hoping that this might be the game that convinces me to buy an XBone, especially after I finally broke down and bought 4. But instead it just sounds like M$ has raied their level of bullshit and fucking over their consumers and fan base of one of their marquee franchise to new heights.

Under car history it lists previous and original owners. Might just be a glitch with selling cars...

Well the marketplace says coming soon so we hope it allows for car auctions.

[PP]

Well the marketplace says coming soon so we hope it allows for car auctions.

So they rushed the game out with out the sell cars feature?

[Twigg4075]

Well the marketplace says coming soon so we hope it allows for car auctions.

I wonder if they're doing a Diablo 3 auction house type thing where they take a cut of all transactions?

[jms493]

Dont press the breaks too hard...lulz!

Protip - Multiplayer

If you want to stay with your friends and move from Hopper to Hopper then you have to all be in an Xbox live party together and then join a game. Everyone will then stay together. Works nicely.

I am not sure if I posted this here.

For those of you unfamiliar on why you guy free cars and tokes here is the explanation. You must sign in though with your MS passport.

Forza 5 Rewards for November 2013:
Tier 1 no reward
Tier 2 Ford Fiesta ST + 10,000 credits
Tier 3 Audi RS 7 + 20,000 credits + lower tier rewards
Tier 4 Ferrari F1berlinetta + 40,000 credits + lower tier rewards
Tier 5 McLaren P1 + 80,000 credits + lower tier rewards
Tier 6 160,000 credits + lower tier rewards

Thus, a player in Tier 5 would receive the Ford + Audi + Ferrari + McLaren + 150,000 credits for November. Then in December and future months the player would receive that month's new set of rewards. The McLaren P1 reward for November is the model available to all players, not the painted LE DLC version of the car.

Troubleshooting: Some players did not receive gift car messages for November Rewards at launch. Turn 10 is aware of the issue and working on it. If you have not done so in a while, log out of XBL and log back in. Follow @ForzaMotorsport for updates.

Tier 1 0-100 points
Tier 2 100-700 points
Tier 3 700-2500 points
